#PEOPLESVOTE

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirmed the SNP would support a second Brexit vote if there was a vote in Westminster.

@toryboypierce opined: “SNP leader @ Nicolasturgeon is backing a 2nd referendum on Brexit. Another member of the political elite who think they know better than the people.”

@trapdoorcat observed: “Taking account of the disdain and contempt that Westminster is showing to Scotland at this time, Nicola Sturgeon is right to take a strong stance on these issues.”

@helenlewis tweeted: “Watching Nicola Sturgeon’s grasp of the detail on Brexit on #Marr and thinking that both May and Corbyn are very lucky to face each other at the dispatch box.”

#KAVANAUGH

Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as the newest justice of the US Supreme Court in a highly divisive Senate vote on Saturday. Dozens of protesters were arrested. @Lindseygrahamsc, a Republican senator, wrote: “Brett Kavanaugh is exactly the right person, at the right time to serve on the Supreme Court. A conservative jurist. A good man with the background and experience worthy of this high honor.” @Juddlegum noted: “The actions of Trump, Pence, 50 Republican Senators and one Democrat will impact people’s lives for decades. Trivializing it like it’s a game of checkers serves no one.” @Yamiche said: “It can’t be overstated how much Senator Mitch Mcconnell did to make this historic shift of the Supreme Court happen. And President Trump, aggressive, mocking and brash now can point to the court as his most lasting legacy.”

#STRICTLY

Regular viewers of Strictly Come Dancing noted the shade between judges Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel-horwood after coming to blows over a performance on Saturday night. @artistiqwalrus posted: “Bruno vs Craig .... they need their own tv show where they just roast each other.” @Alexjbradbury17 shared: “I think the combination between that dance and Craig and Bruno’s war of words makes that THE best moment in #Strictly history!
